July 19, 201610 yr I am not going "plagiarized" in the sense they lifted the speech and put it into Mrs. Trumps' speech. I am going plagiarism in the sense the campaign wouldn't have the smarts to see how a speech may mirror another speech and tweak it to avoid the perception of plagiarism. That make sense?

Are you saying they wrote it and THEN should have realized it sounded familiar?
July 19, 201610 yr Author Gov Christie is dismissing the plagiarism charge because 7% of it was the same as Mrs Obama's.
July 19, 201610 yr Are you saying they wrote it and THEN should have realized it sounded familiar? That is what every campaign does. There are millions of speeches given on a limited amount of subjects in this world. You write a speech and hand it over to others to vet it and make sure you don't mimic others. Team Trump would be sloppy enough not to go through all the steps. No, I do not think they watched video of Mrs. Obama's most watched speech ever and said, "that is what we will use and nobody will ever know." Neither is better than the other. And frankly, I really do not care if she read the speech word for word.
July 19, 201610 yr Gov Christie is dismissing the plagiarism charge because 7% of it was the same as Mrs Obama's. I don't think it's a big deal, as it was just a couple (two I think) small portions, but come on. Just admit it, and move on.
July 19, 201610 yr Not a good look for Trump's wife. But I don't think HRC wants to harp on lying or decieving the public. She won't win that battle.
July 19, 201610 yr Are you saying they wrote it and THEN should have realized it sounded familiar? Do you remember what John McCains wife said in 2008?
July 19, 201610 yr Not a good look for Trump's wife. But I don't think HRC wants to harp on lying or decieving the public. She won't win that battle. Hillary is irrelevant here. The whole of the Internet was circulating this within hours of the speech. It wasn't a great speech to begin with but it didn't necessarily have to be. I was hoping for more; I wanted to get a glimpse of Trump the husband and father, but we didn't really. Maybe his children will have more to say in the next couple days.
July 19, 201610 yr Last night's theme of "Make America Safe Again" just didn't speak to me. It rehashed a lot of the Benghazi stuff that's been gone through time and time again. There was some talk about illegal immigrants as well. Tonight's theme of "Make America Work Again" definitely speaks to me more and includes more of the speakers I'm interested to see. House Speaker Ryan and Majority Leader McCarthy will speak tonight as will Senate Majority Leader McConnell. Also featured tonight: Chris Christie, Ben Carson and Tiffany Trump and Donald Trump, Jr.

And frankly, I really do not care if she read the speech word for word. I find it IMPOSSIBLE to believe that not only did they use the same thought process but the EXACT same words and EXACT same order and it wasn't flat out plagiarizing. What are the odds?
July 19, 201610 yr Author Do you remember what John McCains wife said in 2008? No. However, what are the odds that I'd use the EXACT same wording in the EXACT same order?
July 19, 201610 yr Author Not a good look for Trump's wife. But I don't think HRC wants to harp on lying or decieving the public. She won't win that battle. Someone should be in her ear saying "do NOT say anything when asked."
July 19, 201610 yr I'm sorry but I just don't get this as plagiarism. My reasoning? Nothing Michelke Obama or Trump said last night were original thought to them. Both speeches shared communal feelings and descriptions
July 19, 201610 yr No. However, what are the odds that I'd use the EXACT same wording in the EXACT same order? Ever listen to a lot of various preachers?
